Some basic skills of an office employee include the ability to organize office supplies, answer phones, and work a computer – adorable kittens Debit and Credit have all of those skills – almost. ‘Hired’ by the finance/IT department of a transportation company in Ohio, the rescue kittens were employed not for their natural ability to play with boxes but to perform as a morale boost.

The adorable animals have managed not only to delight their office but the entire internet. Introduced on Reddit by one of their fellow employees, the cute kittens were caught on camera hiding under and wrestling with an empty box lid. Understandably people wanted to see more of their hijinx. The office cats now have their own Instagram account with 6.2k followers.

The employee who posted the video to Reddit said the pet cats stay at the office during the evening but are visited on the weekends “for snuggling and playing.”

Animals as a part of the work environment have become an increasingly popular trend over the past few years. According to behavioral psychologist Lotte Spijkerman, dogs and cats can be psychologically beneficial to people. “They reduce stress and increase productivity, mainly because they interact with you of their own accord and, when they pop over to your work station, it’s a good reminder that you might need to take a break,” explained the psychologist.

While having pets can be fun there are some logistics to be such as how to handle individuals with allergies (about 30% of the American population). In the case of this company, the employee on Reddit said, “My building is small—there are only 6 of us. One of them is allergic, but she doesn’t care. The others stay in another building.”
